Abstract/Résumé:

We characterize geodesic spheres with sufficiently small radii in a complex hyperbolic space by using their geometric properties. These geodesic spheres are the only examples of hypersurfaces of type (A) having nonnegative sectional curvature in this ambient space.

Nous caractérisons les sphères géodésiques de rayon suffisamment petit dans un espace hyperbolique complexe en utilisant leurs propriétés géométriques. Ces sphères géodésiques sont les seuls exemples d’hypersurfaces de type (A) qui ont courbure non-negative dans cet espace ambiant.

Abstract/Résumé:

Investigating geometric properties of characteristic vector fields on geodesic spheres in a complex space form, we characterize complex space forms in the class of Kähler manifolds.

En étudiant des propriétés géométriques de champs de vecteurs caractéristiques sur des sphères géodésiques dans un espace complexe à courbure constante, on caractérise ces espaces dans la classe des variétés kähleriennes.
